Department Overview

 

PG&E operates infrastructure that has been deemed critical to our national and economic security. As such, we are firmly committed to working with other gas and electric providers, other essential industries, and government officials to develop and implement state-of-the-art security strategies and best practices.

 

PG&E’s Enterprise Protection organization demonstrates our commitment to addressing evolving threats and complex cyber and physical security risks. We seek to continually improve our services through strategic deployment of our resources, standardizing security practices and policies, and reinforcing and promoting security awareness across the enterprise.

 

Our Enterprise Protection organization leads our efforts to detect, monitor, and respond to physical and cybersecurity threats and attacks. To test and refine our ability to respond to threat scenarios, we hold an enterprise-wide training exercise each fall and participate in the national GridEx grid security exercise every other year.

 

As PG&E’s technological footprint expands, the need to protect our people, assets, and information from attacks becomes even more essential. We have made investments in key areas to modernize security infrastructure and to build service capability, providing the security team with the tools they need to manage challenges to our critical infrastructure.

 

Once risks are identified and prioritized, we develop mitigation plans to protect the enterprise and reduce risk. The approach includes continually evolving our capabilities to address tactics used by our adversaries amid a changing threat landscape. PG&E has around-the-clock centralized security monitoring operations for threat detection, situational awareness, incident management, and emergency response to proactively defend PG&E from both cyber and physical threats.
